Verdict

MISTER SUNSHINE is penalised for winning at Brighton last time but he scored by six lengths and Clive Cox’ colt should make another bold bid. Davarde was a long way behind the winner when second at Chepstow but should do better back on this faster surface and Diable d'Or could go well again returning to 6f today. Zebby Sizz is a brother to a winning sprinter, Poet's Princess is related to four winners and Curve Ball is another newcomer to note in the betting.
